STAPLE AND LOOK FOR BAG-FRAMES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,201, dated October 17, 1882. Application filed March 16, 1882. (N model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OSCAR REIGHENBACH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Staple and Lock-Box for Bag-Frames, of which the following is a specification.

This invention consists in the combination, with a bag-frame, of a lock-box provided with IO extensions having in their outer surfaces semicircular recesses near their ends, two staples provided with semicircular recesses in theirinner surfaces, and with pins adapted to project through holesin the extensions of thelock-box 1 and in the bag-frame, and two loops or links for the support of the handle placed into the recesses between the staples and the extensions of the lock-box, so that said staples form the connection between thelinks, the lock-box, and the bag-frame. Tbestaples,togetherwiththeir pins, are cast solid of brass or other suitable metal.

This invention is illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents va sectional side view when the parts are connected; Fig.2isaperspectiveviewofthedifierout parts, when disconnected, ona larger scale than the previous figure; Fig. 3 is a perspec tive inverted plan view of one of my staples de- 0 tached.

Similar lettersindicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, the letter A designates the frame for a traveling-bag, satchel, or other article of asimilar nature. B is the lock-box, the 5 base of which is providedwith extensions (60/, and in the upper surface of these extensions, near their ends,are formed semicircularrecesses 1) (best seen in Fig. 2) and two holes,cc, which correspond to holes (I d in the frame A. The lock-box is secured to the frame by means of staples G 0, each of which is provided in its inner surface with a semicircular recess, 0, and with two pins, ff, which project from itsinner surface-one on each side of the recess 0. When the lock-box is adjusted on the frame in the proper position the pins ff of the staples G G can he passed through the holes 0 c in the extensions of the lock-box and through the holes (I d in the fraineA; and by the recesses 12 c in the extensions of the lock-box and in the sta- 5o ples respectively circular sockets are formed for the reception of rings or links I), which form the connection between the handle and the bag-frame. When the pinsffare riveted. 0n the inside of the frame A they connect the staples, the lock-box, the frame, and the links D firmly together, and considerable labor is saved in the manufacture of the bags orsatch; els. Tho staples (J, together with the pins ff, are cast solid, the recesses a being formed dur- 6o ing the operation of casting, so that no further labor is required in fitting up or constructing the staples, with the exception ofcleaning their outer su rfacesand platingthe same with nickel, or otherwise, if desired.

hat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the frame A, of the lock-box provided with extensions having in their outer surfaces semicircular recesses near their ends, two staples provided with semicircula-r recesses in their inner surfaces, and with pins adapted to project through holes in the extensions of the lock-box and in the bagframe, and two links intended for the support of the handle and placed into the sockets between the staples and the extensions of the lock-box, all constructed to operate substantially as and for the purpose shown and described.

In testimony whereofI have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
